The leader goes between the main fishing line and the lure. The leader is always heavier
test than the line. For example I use 40lb. test leader on a pole with 17lb. test (Stren).
The length of the leader is a funtion of the pole length and the weight of the lure. When I
use a 2 ~ 2.25oz. spoon (Krocodile or Gator) on a 12' surf rod I make the leader approx. 30
~ 36 inches. I'll use a barrel swivel to tie between the leader and the main line (17lb.
Stren) and a snap on the leader to connect to the lure. The leader has to loop knots, one
on each end where one is slightly larger than the other. The smaller loop goes to the
barrel swivel and the larger loop goes to a snap. The main line (17lb. Stren) connects to
the barrel swivel via a palomar knot.

The above can be scaled down for fresh water easily. For example, 6 inches to 12 inches of
12 ~ 15lb. leader material, smaller snap and barrel swivel on a pole using 4 ~ 6lb. test.
